The prevalence, abundance, and molecular characterization ofLipoptenadeer keds from cervids [PDF]

Journal of Vector Ecology, 2020
The objectives of this study were to investigate the prevalence and abundance of deer keds on various cervids in Lithuania, to molecularly characterize the deer ked species based on mitochondrial COI and 16S rRNA genes, and to compare them with Lipoptena species found in other countries.

Lipoptena fortisetosa as a vector of Bartonella bacteria in Japanese sika deer (Cervus nippon)

Parasites & Vectors, 2021
Background Two species of deer ked (Lipoptena cervi and L. mazamae) have been identified as vectors of Bartonella bacteria in cervids in Europe and the USA.

Allergy to stings and bites from rare or locally important arthropods: Worldwide distribution, available diagnostics and treatment

Allergy, Volume 78, Issue 8, Page 2089-2108, August 2023., 2023
Abstract Insect venom allergy is the most frequent cause of anaphylaxis in Europe and possibly worldwide. The majority of systemic allergic reactions after insect stings are caused by Hymenoptera, and among these, vespid genera induce most of the systemic sting reactions (SSR). Honey bees are the second leading cause of SSR.

A brief review on deer keds of the genus Lipoptena (Diptera: Hippoboscidae)

Veterinary Parasitology, 2023
The louse flies of the genus Lipoptena spp. (Diptera: Hippoboscidae) are obligate blood-feeding species and potential vectors of several pathogens. These ectoparasites are known for their potential harm to wild animals. This review summarized the recent research on Lipoptena spp.'s role as potential vectors of pathogens and the impact of climate change

Louse flies holding on mammals' hair: Comparative functional morphology of specialized attachment devices of ectoparasites (Diptera: Hippoboscoidea)

Journal of Morphology, Volume 283, Issue 12, Page 1561-1576, December 2022., 2022
The claws of the ectoparasitic flies of the Hippoboscoidea are most important to attach securely to the host fur. The gap between claw and claw base is of the same size as the hosts' hair, so that the flies' claws can interlock with the hosts' fur.

Lost, gained, and regained functional and phylogenetic diversity of European mammals since 8000 years ago

Global Change Biology, Volume 28, Issue 17, Page 5283-5293, September 2022., 2022
Over the last 8000 years, humans have caused the loss of some European mammal species but there have also been gains associated with species introductions and reintroductions, while some species have re‐expanded into their former distributions after the relaxation of past pressures.

Adverse effects of Diptera flies on northern ungulates: Rangifer, Alces, and Bison

Mammal Review, Volume 52, Issue 3, Page 425-437, July 2022., 2022
Ungulates resist flies initially by morphological barriers of skin and hair, and later by physiological processes of healing and immunity. The cost of repairing skin increases with damage to the body surface, but the costs of immune response vary widely with the fly and the associated diseases.

The exceptional attachment ability of the ectoparasitic bee louse Braula coeca (Diptera, Braulidae) on the honeybee

Physiological Entomology, Volume 47, Issue 2, Page 83-95, June 2022., 2022
Bee lice attach to their host's surface using highly modified claws. The overall morphology of the tarsus produces strong attachment, with average safety factors (force per body weight) around 1130. The tarsal chain is protected with lateral stoppers against overflexion, but also allows for the fast detachment.

Bartonella spp. detection in ticks, Culicoides biting midges and wild cervids from Norway

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 68, Issue 2, Page 941-951, March 2021., 2021
Abstract Bartonella spp. are fastidious, gram‐negative, aerobic, facultative intracellular bacteria that infect humans, and domestic and wild animals. In Norway, Bartonella spp. have been detected in cervids, mainly within the distribution area of the arthropod vector deer ked (Lipoptena cervi).

Invasion rate of deer ked depends on spatiotemporal variation in host density [PDF]

Bulletin of Entomological Research, 2014
AbstractInvasive parasites are of great global concern. Understanding the factors influencing the spread of invading pest species is a first step in developing effective countermeasures. Growing empirical evidence suggests that spread rates are essentially influenced by spatiotemporal dynamics of host–parasite interactions, yet approaches modelling ...
